Day 14.
Was weighed this morning. 4 lbs off woohoo!
Ive got 7 bars this week, got a variety of flavours. I've cut each one up into 7 pieces and mad e a little picn mix in 7 bags, thought it would be nice to have a bit of each. Variety is the spice of life so they say!! Haha
Ive lost 2...
I try my hardest to drink more water, I can comfortably manage 4 pints, 3 teas and any more makes me gag now so I'm struggling a bit :( didn't do the DVD, did my ironing, cleaned the bathrooms, changed the beds then picked my daughter up from preschool and went food shopping! So been busy lol...
Day 13 I think.
Dont actually think I've lost anything this week, my scales are not budging. Maybe I need to do some exercise, I haven't really done any as yet, just my normal house hold day to day stuff. I've got a Jessie wallace DVD I might try today. Got a mountain of ironing from the...
Lol yeah was really hard.
Been camping since yesterday afternoon, just got home.
I was good I didn't cave....the hardest part was this morning when my 3yo daughter was eating cheese straws with a garlic and onion dip, it smelt heavenly and I desperately wanted some! It's one of my favs...
Not to bad thanks. I had to eat earlier. So had a mushroom omelette, it was nothing special, but it filled the hole my stomach wouldn't let me forget about. So all good.
Hope you have a lovely weekend. Stay strong!! Xx
Omg I'd love a couple of those buns lol. They look yummy.
I had a strawberry ready made shake at the weekend, they are sooooo sweet and a bit sickly. But ok if that's all you have :)
I love baking with my kids. I recently got a bread maker and love all the different sort of bread you can...
It'll be fine I'm sure. If I can get hold of my CDC I'll get some ready made ones so I don't have to worry about it. I'll only need maybe 3. I'm sure I'll cope lol.
I have 4 kids to organise, me and my fella and what do I worry about most? My shakes and my chihuahua haha priorities lol
Gosh I know that feeling. My hubby wants us to go camping this weekend....all I can think of is how am I going to blend my shakes!! I don't want to go, but the kids do....ugh
Lol yeah totally agree!! I have my moments, I got a new swimming costume today, I can see a small difference in the size of my waist. It's spurred me on no end :)
Had to have a omelette at lunch. I was shaking and starving. Think I must be out of ketosis, not sure why. I haven't had anything different at all. Very odd. But anyway I had 2 eggs and a handful of chopped mushrooms, so only things I'm allowed. Feel better for it. :)
Haha that's funny!!
Theres a funny video of a dad on fb, he finds out his daughter has slagged him off on fb and he makes a video to tell her. Then he shoots holes in her laptop with a gun. Kids eh!! Lol x
Yeah that's what I do, just keep telling myself I'm fed up of being fat. I don't want o let myself down or my hubby, he's paying half for my cd shakes so I'd feel rotten if I just gave in.
Well done you for resisting!
I love chicken tikka masala.....yummy.
Day 10? I think lol
Felt a bit shakey when I got up, had a big cuppa tea and am ok now. This diet seems to be getting harder doe me ATM. I keep thinking about food all the time. It's driving me nuts! Can't wait until Tuesday when I can start having a...
All good fore today. Had 3 shakes 4 pints of water and some tea :)
Hubby had a chicken tikka in naan for his tea and it smelt so good... I went into the other room though, it's full of crap I don't actually know why I like them lol.
Roll in tomorrow!
Night all xx
Oh gosh loads better. Finally got some energy again.
My hubby and eldest son are really suffering with half ever this year. It's the first year my son has suffered.
I rarely get colds, but when I do I feel rotten. So I feel for you, it's not nice, but I suppose it's taking your mind off the...
I quite like doing housework. I put my iPod on the dock and I'm well away :) I kind of find it therapeutic. ESP if I'm stressed lol
The rain is finally easing now...
Morning. My CDC is lovely. Her daughter goes to the same Pre school as mine, and the amount of weight she has lost is astounding! She looks amazing. She's really chatty to.
Its nice to speak to someone who knows how you feel lol
Aparently the dulco ease is gentler....I think I'm going to get...
At least it's not chips or bread!!
Don't worry Kerry, it's only a small amount. Stay positive mrs. Your doing really well.
I had to lock myself away at tea time or I would have given in to, really wanted pasta with everyone else. It smelt so good....
Another day tomorrow sweet, hopefully...
Wow 11lb! My weight is coming off slow, I think it's because I've yoyo'd for such a long time my metabolism is a bit out of sync.
I nice hot bath will help with achy legs to. I'm just waiting for my youngest kids to go to bed then I'm diving in to!
Xx
I'm going to move on to Ss+ next Tuesday. Just want to do one more week of Ss first.
Im going to stick with what Kerry said I think. Try and stick with more water and less tea.
Feel like a right whinger today, all I seem to be doing is moaning. Can't wait to have a nice hot bath and early...
Hiya. Yeah I'm fine now lol. Omg it was torture! Haha.
Prim trying to drown myself with water but it's just not going down well haha. Never drank so much in my life xx
Hey!
Glad your coping! Have you taken some paracetamol? My CDC said its fine to take those. How you managing with the soups etc? I'm still not brave enough to go with the soups. So I'm sticking to the shakes. I tried the choc mint one yesterday, omg is gorgeous! Swoping some of my others for...
Don't be sorry!! Lol. Jeez I wouldn't wish those cramps on anyone!!
Feel a bit better now, full of wind though lol glad noones here to hear it hahahaha ;)
Im exactly the same with sleeping, my CDC said people usually sleep really well. Like you it takes me ages to drift off then I'm awake through the night to. It's frustrating. Other than that and this morning, I'm feeling great to, not hungry at all :)
Ill try one every 3 days instead. Took 2...
Day 8
Omg I took a dulco lax last night and have got up this morning with the most horrendous cramps. I was covered in sweat and couldn't even stand up, omg it hurt so much! The cramps still keep coming and going but not so frequent. Ouch. I look like I'm pregnant I'm so bloated and my stomach...
Hiya, you sound loads happier then earlier. Glad your gran is ok. Hope you make loads on eBay. I really need to put loads on but just can't be asked ATM.
Chin up sweet, your doing fab x
Thanks everyone.
Really craving cauliflower cheese.......
Haha.
I thought I was getting used to having 4 pints of water a day plus tea etc, well my CDC said I should try and have 5 pints. So I have today and the extra pint has had me running to the loo and back every 2 mins lol. Will try...
Ouch sprained wrist :(
Sounds like your on a cracking week! That's like half a stone!!! Yay!!
Glad your feeling better. I got the choc mint shake today omg its gorgeous!! Lol
Morning all.
Day 7 for me today. And weigh in a day early. My scales are only showing a 4 lb loss, that's first thing in the morning naked, so well see....
Feel ok today, was gasping for a cuppa when I got up, seem to be firsty(sp) all the time ATM
Hope everyone else is ok this morning :)
Hey just catching up with your diary.
My little sister is a support worker to, she does 24 hr shifts and is always popping to mc Donald's or for a pizza etc. must be torture for you. She's 7 st wet through though, makes me sick! Lol.
Im on day 6 to. Felt good most of the day. Craving food...
Brilliant loss well done!! Your doing fab, get a book or a trashy magazine to read on breaks so you forget about wanting food, keep your mind occupied. Your doing really well! :)
Fingers crossed! I'm really chuffed for you, your doing really well. Are you still on Ss or are you moving up the steps now? I was ment to be on step 2, but when it came to it I didn't trust myself to just eat the small amount I was allowed so I have just stuck with Ss but I do still have a drop...
I'm only on day 6 today. Just got a little over 2 stone to loose. Hope it melts off me as quick as it does you lol. I have a sneaky feeling it prob won't though haha!
I should think so answel lol! It's a massive accomplishment to loose that amount of weight in such a short time. Sounds like a shopping trip is on the cards! How much more do you want to loose?
Yeah me to, and it is working! Can't wait for hubby to get home so I can go and have a nice hot bath while everyone is tucking into their tea. I love seeing them all eat but it's really hard to do right now.
Hows your day going?
Your doing amazingly well, can't believe you could possibly loose weight that fast!! You should be really proud of yourself.
How are you feeling in yourself?
My youngest is 3 1/2 and is just getting past the peppa stage on tv. She loves playing the games on the iPad though. Can't believe she's 3 1/2 makes me so sad, I don't want her to grow up I'd happily keep her at 3 forever, she's a little angel :)
The peeing is mental, and it's not like ou get much warning either is it. One min your fine the next you have to go here and then cos your bladder is about to burst!! Lol maybe that's my age haha
That's IS really good to hear! I'm so hungry right now, just had my second shake. Will save the last one until about 10 ish. I'm cooking pasta for my kids and the smell of the sauce is making my tummy growl...
I keep thinking about my size 10 jeans....
Hiya, day 6 for me. Yesterday was awful. Couldn't think straight, had to take hubby to tescos because I couldn't focus my brain on anything! Felt weak and useless all day long :(
Better today though, felt almost human when I got up this morning. Feel a bit weak now but have been doing...
I'd love to go to paultons park, Isn't that the one where peppy pig is. My daughter loves her!
Well don't for getting back on the wagon, good luck today xx
Lol thanks.
I didn't have my 3rd on Saturday. We went to a wedding and I only took 1 ready made shake, it was after 11 by the time I got home and I just couldn't face it. I tell you what I felt crap yesterday, I think that might have been why :( silly me lol
Hope your having a good day x
Day 6.
Got up actually feeling a bit more with it this morning. Don't feel I'll at all! Finally lol maybe I'm in ketosis?
Really struggled with my last shake yesterday, I kept heaving while I was trying to get it down, seems to be happening more and more often :(
Got a date with my...
That sounds really pretty, yourll have to post pics when it's all done. I like tattoos, I only have 2 small ones, not that anyone ever really sees them!
I know for a fact I would totally loose it if I started eating so early, glad I'm not the only one :)
Chinese......it's still at the top of my list lol x
Don't worry about it to much, just keep focusing on your end goal. I'm desperate to eat today ( only day 5 ugh ) keep craving Chinese.....but I think about how my size 10s will fit me and it keeps me going.
Keep positive sweet xx
I used to weigh in everyday but try my hardest now not to....it's so tempting though, the things we women do eh! Lol
I've got loads of jobs to get on with, just can't be bothered yet. Hubby has the motogp on and it sends me to sleep with out fail, I really should get up and do something!
Day 5 for me.
Woke up feeling like absolute s***e. I was craving a Chinese at 7 this morning lol. Decided on a omelette.... But didn't cave and have just had my first shake and a bucket full of tea.
Im ment to be doing step 2, but since I started I havent actually eaten food, in a way I don't...
Just googles Ryan gosling he is seriously hot!!!!
I felt a bit woozy yesterday when I got up to. Once I'd showered and had a bucket full of tea I felt more human lol.
Enjot the cinema, I've booked my tv for 6 tonight as dirty dancing is on-cheesy I know but I love a good classic!! ( I'm only...
Cant stand coffee, I really wish I liked it at times! Lol
Thanks Sam, had a fab afternoon thanks :)
I WONT be trying porridge again any time soon!!!!!
:) :) :)
Well done for refraining!!! You must have good willpower to do that.
I keep telling myself this isn't going to be forever and that seems to be working for me at the moment
Hope you have a good day x
Ypur totally right, I'm not actually hungry, it's just my mind telling me I want to eat. I've been quite tempted today I must admit but I've refrained lol. I think once I get the weekend out the way I'll be able to cope :)
Strawberry shake for tea :)
I now have a welcome distraction this eve. I have to take my 3yo daughter to the wedding rehearsal as she's being bridesmaid :) I really don't feel like going but I did dred having to sit here all night feeling like s**t lol (pardon the French)
Just had a butterscotch shake, it was lovely. Will...
Yep that's what everyone says to me to. As long as I'm busy I'm fine, it's just when I sit down my mind starts wondering lol.
Im going to a wedding tomorrow so that will be Saturday out the way and then Sunday I'm going to paint my downstairs loo, it's a big loo so should take most of the day...
I'm ok thanks. Feeling a bit out of sorts, day 3 for me so I suppose it has to be expected.
Really chuffed for you almost being in the 12s. I had a sneaky peak on the scales this am and I'm 2lbs down so nearly in the next stone.
I hate that I've let myself get so out of control with eating...
Only day 3 for me :(
but I feel ok today so far, my tummy isn't grumbling this morning yet lol
Hope you have a fab day Zest, I shall be occupying myself with Christian Grey.......:)
Hi, good luck for Sunday. I'm sure I read somewhere that If you start decreasing your carbs a few days before you don't feel so rubbish for the first few days. :)
Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins
I know that feeling, I seem to live in the same 2 pairs of jeans and a handful of t shirts. My wardrobe is stuffed full of jeans (was my guilty pleasure) that I can't wear......yet!
That's why I started on step 2. It's still only 810 calls a day and you get to drink tea with milk in it lol. I could just about
live off tea haha.
I think tomorrow will be a rubbish day for me, my head is starting to ache and I'm cold :(
Ahh there you are lol!
I find that bit between tea and bed the worst to. That's usually when hubby and I have a bar of chocolate between us and crisps :(
Sugar shakes are horrid, I get them all the time even when I'm not on a diet...ugh
Sounds like you have had a roller coaster of a few weeks.
Just keep thinking about how good you will look in your new clothes for your holiday and how much you will want to look at all the photos of the new SLIM you!!
Chin up Hun. This won't be forever, you'll be slim and gorgeous before you...
Yeah having a shake mid morning seems to work better for me. Then I had one mid afternoon. I'll prob have an omelette later and them my last one befor I go to bed so my tummy isn't totally empty or I'll never sleep!
We've got about the same amount to loose :)
Hey, thanks for your message!
I had the apple porridge to. Had it about 11 ish haven't had my next shake yet, thinking of trying the toffee and walnut.
I adore biscuits, they are one of my biggest downfalls ...
How you feeling so far?
Had a lovely wonder round the shops. Got home and tried the porridge, ummmm interesting lol. I love the taste. But can't cope with the texture. Thankfully I only got one!
Lol the joys of stinky breath!
I feel a bit wobbly this morning, going to take my daughter pre school and then crawl back in bed I think.
I'm hungry but not craving food ATM if that makes sense?
Might try the porridge..... :)
That's kind of how I feel to, I'm worried if I do actually ave a meal will I be able to stop...
As I only started at lunch time. I'm just going to stick to my 3 shakes today and see how I feel in the morning.
Have a good evening, hopefully your friend will take our mind off your aches :)
Keep positive Mrs. Mind over matter!! Lol
Kerry did you have the porridge yet? I only got 1 sachet as I wasn't sure if I would like it or not? What's it like consistency wise?
Thats why I failed when I tried in march. I'm a big tea drinker! I'm starting on step 2 purely for the reason that I can still have a decent cuppa! Small things eh :)
Not long from being back after seeing my consultant. I was weighed at 11 st 3lb. I'm starting on step 2 so I can have a meal with my children at tea time. I'm so worried about the effects of my yoyo dieting for the past few years will have on them so trying to keep things as normal as I can. I...
I'm about 11 1/2 stone now, will find out properly later when I get weighed. Haven't stood on my own scales for weeks. I don't dare lol.
Theres a 7 year gap between my youngest two children. My little girl is 3 and my son is 10, I did really want another for her sake, I didn't want her being...
I'd like to get to about 9st which would put me about a size 10-12. I'd be happy with that.
I was one of 5 kids, I always wanted 5 myself but think I'll stick with 4 lol they are hard work and expensive lol
Omg! 17lbs is amazing! Well don't. You should be really proud of yourself!
Have loved reading your diary, I have a wobbly tummy to after 4 children, but you have fab slim legs, I'm well jealous lol. At only 5ft 2 my legs are far to short lol
:)
Hello, I'm Rachel :)
Im a mum to 4 and I'm 33. I first joined this site calorie counting, then I tried cd and failed in 2 days :(. So I gave up on loosing weight for a bit. I needed to get my head straight.
Im meeting my consultant again today at 1:45. I'm excited to get going. Last time I...
Hello.
I've just had my first CD shake! I've got 2 1/2 stone to loose.
I've been calorie counting for a few weeks now, and I'm just fed up of worrying about food! So have decided to have a break from it for a little while
I met my consultant this morning and she's really lovely...
This is how my week goes ,
Monday am- cardio fit, pm- boot camp
Tuesday am- cardio fit
Wednesday pm - boot camp
For the rest of the week, I just try to stay active. :)
They are blinking sore believe me!!! At one point in the spinning class I tried to sneak my towel over the seat but it kept slipping off. My lady bits are soooo sore lol
It was a great class though x
Ive had a nice day so far. My nan and grandad brought my eldest daughter (12 yo) a tricycle, she has special needs and can't ride a normal bike. I would never have been able to afford to buy her one. The look on her face when she got home from school was absolutely priceless, she was besides...
I watched the Claire Richards slave to food. It's brilliant!! Shes just normal and eats probably the same as we (used to) eat and how she battles trying to come to terms with her eating habits. She's v emotional and seems to wear her heart on her sleeve.
It's a fab programme I'll be watching g...
I'm in too :):)
Hannata : 0lbs lost - 10lbs to go
mcv : 0lbs lost - ??lbs to go (C&P to update )
iwillsoonbeslim : 0lbs lost - 7lbs to go

BabyBlueEyes: 0 lost - 10lbs to go

dd82: 0lbs lost -...
Believe it or not giving your dog table scraps is probably 100 times healthier for her than dried or tinned food!!
My own dogs eat better than I do!! :)
Well done Claire for staying so positive.
I to would have eaten for days if I had been disappointed at not loosing anything, I've done it so many times before.
Your doing great, you should be very proud of yourself xx
You remind me so much of myself about 5 years ago! I lost loads and got down to 9 st but wanted to be 8st 7. I tried for weeks, some days I would hardly eat anything then others I binge cos I was desperate to eat. Eventually I made myself I'll and had to go in hospital for a week and that really...
Good on you for coming back! I was the same on sw, it took to much thinking for me lol. I could never get my head round it 100%.
Good luck this time round. I've added you too :)
Yesterday hubby offered to take me out to dinner, this is a rare occurance! I said I'd rather wait till I was at my goal...... I must be blinking mad!!!!!!
It's not so bad cos the older ones practically look after theirselves!
Hope you get it sorted soon, when I was renting my landlord was rubbish, took ages just to do the smallest of jobs. We went 2 weeks once in the middle of winter with no heating.
Hope your having a good weekend, it's cold...
Mine was realising I couldn't even stand in my kitchen to have a conversation with hubby, I had to sit down on a dining chair.
Add that to the fact I have only 2 pairs of trousers that fit me :(
Maybe take a flask and one of those pasta pot thingys? Or a chopped salad with tuna or egg, something along those lines? I'm rubbish at this sort of thing lol x
Hey Sophie.
Wow 8 stone is amazing!! Well done.
Calorie counting is easy peasy, a lot of people on here use myfitnesspal along side to. It's a fab little tool for logging food and exercise.
Good luck getting to your goal. Look forward to seeing you round cc ing xx
Just took photos?? That's rubbish esp when you got little kids running about. When your busy who's got time to wallow in the bath.
My kiddies are 14,12,9 and 3. :)
Since i started this diet I've been really good with housework, but only because it means me being active. Usually I hate it!! ESP ironing ugh.
Hope you got your shower mended.
We are going to the circus tomorrow afternoon. Kids all back to school Monday yay!
Hope you have a good weekend and...
Ooooooh I likely!
Have just downloaded it, have to wait till tomorrow to get a graph thingy. It's really clever, tells you how many days to goal and how many more pounds you have to loose. I like it!!
My biggest downfall is chocolate and coke zero. But I had a can of coke zero last night and couldn't drink it all, it was SOOO sweet. Hubby won't be pleased he brought a pack of 8 and complained 'that was 4 quid!' and I can't bring myself to drink anymore ooooops lol
Im hoping so lol.
What plans have you got for the weekend? We are going swimming this morning, then at our local library this afternoon there's a reading of the gruffalo, which my 3 yo adores so we are going to see that. :)
I'm getting on fine,ta. Struggling to eat enough (never thought I'd say that) I'm scared incase I can't stop lol. OH mentioned the 'm' word earlier and so did my nan lol v perciliar o_O
Are you doing much exercise? :)
Know it's still a bit early yet for spring, but it's so nice where I am. The sun is shining and we don't need to be wrapped up in scarfs and hats. It's amazing how much nice days can brighten your mood. I can wait for spring to get here :)
